Zeke: I bake. Almost Everyone Else: Oh, hell no. Other People With Secrets: Hmm, now seems like the right time to reveal this deep secret because he just did and got completely rejected for it.
this shit is low key dark. there basically singing about how society is so afraid of change. everyone in east high wants everyone to do what they think they should be doing , not what makes them happy. I'm glad that high school isn't like this. I can't sing anyways
+zKicks__ I was just analyzing it myself and yes, the message is that society want you to fit in a neat and tidy box. High school was exactly like this, everyone wanted you to fit in the neat box you belonged in. Although, there was no singing that I recall.
"...high school isn't like this." HA! Nice joke, man. High school -at least the one I'm in, I have no idea what your one is/was like- is like this. You can't be different, if you're different, you're weird. I'm a girl who likes video games and "boys" stuff, excluding sports because fuck that shit. I don't wear makeup like the other girls in my school, it takes too long to put on, and I would rather stay in than go out with my friends. I don't want a boyfriend right now, I'm doing fine without one. Even the boys in my school -not including my friends, they're not assholes- don't like me because I'm not like the other girls. The girls who fall into the stereotypes. The girls who want to have a relationship. The girls who would rather be with friends than play video games. Those girls. I get judged every fucking day. I get called an emo because of the music I listen to. I get shit on because I like something different. Maybe high school wasn't like that for you. If so, you're lucky, mate.
This scene literally depicts American parents, Parents: "Oh it's okay, we'll support you in anything you choose, just speak your mind" Me: **speaks my mind** Parents: *W R O N G*
OMG I’m always being told by one or BOTH of my parents to just speak my mind but as soon as I do just that I’d basically be told to shut up 🤐 so so infuriatingly frustratingly relatable
Oh and my Parents btw aren’t really even Americans but it seems they’ve been strongly influenced by American 🇺🇸 Parents cuz they might have spent too much time there or something
The thing that I love about the HSM series is that everybody in the original HSM stayed for the other two. Even some of the background characters stayed and it's honestly amazing.
They're not saying that dancing in general is awful, it's just that she's stereotyped to be a geek and dancing isn't exactly a trait for her clique, they're telling her to stick to doing intellectual activities.
So uh the guy who plays the cello has been allegedly arrested for robbing a pizza joint at gun point. Maybe they took his cello? He should’ve stuck to the status quo
In real life high school is so boring and stressful. Like where is my musical number with my love interest? Why don't we break out in song and dance in the cafeteria? And why isn't my cafeteria that big and awesome?
Liz Bradford Did you ever go to a ski resort on New Years Eve and sing karaoke with a stranger? Its really important. You have to do it to get the rest of the stuff to happen. Its a domino effect, and cant begin if you never knocked over the first domino. I did it and afterwards my life was almost exactly like the movies. My love interest and I had a few rocky parts, but we worked it out in 2 hours.

+MrMagic People in my school do that, but on a MUCH smaller scale, in one classroom and no instruments. Everyone was randomly singing Never Gonna Give You up.
That was actually my high school. Granted i went to a performing arts school but still. When the bell rang on the last day of school for the year, The seniors woukd start singing What time is it? and then the whole school danced outside. My senior year i started the chant and got to sing Gabriellas part. Coolest i have ever been and will ever be
HSM released before I entered high school. So I was actually given the impression it would be like this - an institution where you don't have uniforms ... Until I remembered I'm British.
Well then i guess it makes sense why chad danced and sang about how he didn't dance and troy sang in basketball practice in front of his friends about how he didnt want them to know he sang😂😂
Like fr!! He sang and danced all through this movie and he even danced during the song I don't dance but apparently he dosnt dance. Thats logic everyone
Gabriella's reaction is probably the most realistic when you're talking about a bunch of random high-schoolers suddenly breaking out into professionally-choreographed singing and dancing.
+SaltISReal™ [Storm 4 Story Is Garbage] look at my profile picture I dyed my hair Brown and also I'm 28 years old rn this was so old and long time ago and why would I lie. I used to school there In east high at salt lake Utah.
i like how the friends of the people who are telling their secrets are like tell us what you are trying to say but the moment their friend says it they are like what the fuck your dream sucks now do what we want you to do
Am I the only one who thought that this was making fun of the whole status quo thing. That everybody says you should be individual but discourage when somebody does something outside of the status quo. This actually sounded like a really inspiring song to me actually.
